3. Cases of sexual assault, sexual harassment, or bullying on campus handled by NCUE in 2022:

NCUE is actively engaged in promoting education and awareness regarding the prevention of campus sexual harassment, sexual assault, and bullying. The primary objective is to enhance the understanding and respect for both one's own and others' sexual and bodily autonomy among our faculty, staff, and students. To achieve this, we conducted regular educational and awareness activities on the prevention of these issues. In addition to these efforts, we used various communication channels to disseminate our anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies. These policies are also incorporated into employment contracts for faculty and staff, as well as the student handbooks. We also urged victims or those with knowledge of campus sexual harassment, sexual assault, and bullying incidents to report them promptly. This not only facilitated evidence collection but also ensures that appropriate investigations and actions can be taken. Table 1 illustrates the situation regarding the handling of incidents related to campus sexual harassment, sexual assault, or bullying at NCUE in 2022. Both the number of incidents and substantiated cases have seen a significant decrease compared to 2021 (where there were 12 incidents and 7 substantiated cases). This demonstrates the effectiveness of our education and awareness initiatives in combating discrimination and bullying.
